The ancient sport of cockfighting originated in the Orient
and eventually was introduced into Europe sometime in the 5th Century B.C. where
it became a sport in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The sport eventually
became widespread and later became popular in England, Ireland, Belgium, India,
Asia, the Philippines, United States, Central and South America, the Caribbean
and Mexico. Today, cockfighting is still legal in many countries including three
states Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico, as well as the United States
territories of Puerto Rico and Guam.

The beautiful and sometimes multicolored gamecock also
referred to as the fighting cock, is a distinct variety of chicken closely
resembling the wild jungle fowl of India. The ancient sport of cockfighting has
a long American tradition with centuries old bloodlines, and is part of our
American history. In early America, cockfighting became one of America's
national sport. Attesting to the sport's immense popularity and the gamecock's
unbelievable courage, the image of the gamecock was seriously considered to be
selected to be placed on the Official Seal of the United States. Historically,
past presidents Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Lincoln were known
to participate in the sport of cockfighting. The great University of South
Carolina founded in 1801 adopted the gamecock as its school emblem for its
incredible courage.

History of Invention
(patent
pending)

In many countries, and in some states within the United
States, cockfighting is an accepted form of entertainment. The Latin and Asian
cultures in particular enjoy and promote this form of entertainment. In many
countries and in many states of the United States, this form of entertainment is
illegal, primarily because of the injury or death incurred by the gamecocks. In
the traditional cockfight, the gamecocks have knives attached to their trimmed
natural spurs, making their matches according to critics, a lethal and brutal
form of entertainment. Historically, this ancient sport moved from the urban
areas to be found only in the rural areas of the United States and eventually
underground in those states where it is illegal. This cultural clash of values
can be resolved by the practical, non-lethal contest referred to as Gamecock
BoxingTM.

The main objectives of this invention are (1) to provide a
non-lethal, humane gamecock sparring match that prevents death and essentially
eliminates any injury to the gamecocks, (2) to provide equipment, including an
arena, scoring vest, boxing gloves and a scoring apparatus, that facilitates
legal wagering on the gamecock sparring match, (3) make this ancient sport
legally acceptable on a state by state basis, and allow gamecock breeders to
continue to legally test and perfect their breed.

The Score

The scoring is displayed on a monitor for everyone to see. It
will show the total score for each gamecock as the scores are made round by
round and the total scoring of each gamecock at the end of the match. The
gamecock with the highest over all score wins the match.

The timer will stop at the end of each round and no points
can be scored after the timer stops; The timer automatically stops the scoring.
Any contact with a sensor in between rounds will not be counted by the scoring
mechanism.

Electronic Scoring Mechanism

This diagram shows two gamecocks and the process of the
analog signal. The transmitter from each gamecock's vest will send signals to a
receiver J from receiver to PC Information processor to monitors displaying the
score board.

The Boxing Glove

The boxing gloves provided by Gamecock BoxingTM for each
gamecock before each match are made of foam rubber soft enough to absorb the
impact of any blow, but firm enough to set off the sensor upon impact. They are
attached to the two natural spurs of each gamecock which are pre-trimmed before
the match.

Vesting Room

There are two gamecocks selected for each boxing match. Each
gamecock has a handler who takes their respective gamecock into the vesting room
and they are accompanied by the referee. The referee then puts a vest on each
gamecock. One gamecock is provided a green vest and the other gamecock is
provided a red vest by Gamecock BoxingTM. Except for color, each vest is
identical, containing various sensors throughout the vest. The vest is adjusted
for a comfortable fit. Specially manufactured boxing gloves provided by Gamecock
BoxingTM are attached to the trimmed natural spurs of each gamecock by their
handler.

A piece of adhesive tape will be used over the upper end of
the beak, to avoid a strong bill hold that may cause a scratch on the skin of
the opposing gamecock. Also, the toe nails on their talons will be pre-trimmed
and manicured to a smooth round finish, but not too close to the flesh in order
to avoid soreness and at the same time, allow the gamecock to walk and move
around using its nails for a natural grip. The beak cannot be manicured nor
trimmed, for any filing or trim of a beak will cause soreness and the roosters
will not able to pick up their feed from the ground.

Arena

On one entrance facing the arena, the red color boxing team's
handler enters with his gamecock. He is directed to the judge's scale to weigh
his gamecock. The two gamecocks are weighed prior to the boxing match. Both
gamecocks should be the same weight, but there is a 2 ounce allowance. The judge
verifies the weight and he then proceeds to the vesting room. There the referee
puts the red vest and the Gamecock BoxingTM gloves on the gamecock, and then the
handler is directed to the red side of the arena with his gamecock.

The green team will go through the same process except the
green color boxing team's handler will enter the arena from the green entrance.
When both handlers are in the ring, they set their rooster on the floor for the
audience to see them, then they pick them up. The people seated around the ring
are betters and spectators who have paid to watch.

Betting System

At this time the people start betting on the gamecock they
like the best i.e. $100.00 even money, if one gamecock is a favorite, betters
start laying odds. 90-100 - 80-100, sometimes as low as 70-100. Bets are placed
before the match begins for the over all winner and in between each round for
the winner of that particular round.

With the electronic betting system, a better goes to the
arena office to bet and purchase a card for 20-50-100-1000, etc. When a better
makes a bet on the electronic system, he receives a red ticket if he bets on the
red rooster and he receives a green ticket if he bets on the green rooster. If
he wins, he will redeem his ticket at the betting arena office.

Games Begin

The referee will call both handlers to the center of the
arena with their gamecocks. He instructs the handlers to show the gamecocks. The
handlers will go to their assigned color red or green as shown on the arena
diagram. Show means, each handler holds his gamecock with both hands and places
him facing the other at the center of the ring. At the moment the handlers set
the gamecocks on the floor, take two or three steps back and release the
gamecocks on or behind the pre-marked lines on the ground and the 10 second
round starts running. At the end of 10 seconds, the system shuts off. The
referee counts 10 seconds of rest period. The judge starts the system for the
second round and the same process continues to the end of the boxing match,
which varies from 7 to 12 rounds depending on the boxing match program.
